TV Fact-Checker: Inoculating "House" Against Bad Medicine
“There are different levels of ways to link two things together. If somebody has a twitching finger and you want to get to his brain, you might say he’s having a seizure in a certain part of his brain that might be linked to a tumor up there. That’s a well-known clinical relationship, though. If no such relationship exists then what I generally do is fall back on mechanistic connects — the physiology of the human body. There was an episode in Season 3 or 4 where we had to get from the brain to the heart. The writer and I were having a lot of trouble. Finally, I just found an article that said asymmetric activation of the mid-brain can have an effect on the function of heart. That was something that I hadn’t even known before. Very few practicing physicians even know that.”

We were thinking about a “House” drinking game that involved finishing your drink whenever a character made a diagnosis...
